- 10 months ago
Who invented the Stone Cold Stunner, and how did Austin end up using it as his finish? Some think he borrowed Johnny Ace's "Ace Crusher" which was finishing guys off in Japan - wrong. Others assume he picked up Mikey Whipwreck's "Whipper Snapper" during his time in ECW - wrong again.
Stone Cold has explained in interviews that it was Michael Hayes who suggested he use the move as his finish. So where did Hayes learn of it?
Michael Hayes was scheduled to face Johnny B. Badd at SuperBrawl IV, but due to injury was replaced by his tag partner Jimmy Garvin. Badd won the bout, but after the match he was laid out by Garvin an his new move - the "911."
